I have a 00' taco with the 2.7 inline 4. I was curious if anybody has put a cold air intake on trucks similiar to this. if so, was the cost worth the gains? opinions on which brand to use and if I should go thru with it...thanks guys

just get a AFE filter and call it a day CAI are worthless unless you have some sort of air dam under or bhiend your front bumper to pull cold fresh air in but all that is a waste of money if you go wheelin

There is test data around that shows this helps performance.
Others should ask themselves how this mod would help. When it allows in "hot" air. The "cold air" mantra says it shouldn't.
Improving flow is the key. Relieving flow restrictions and pressure loss is more important that a few degrees of temperature.

thanks for all the input...sounds like i might try the elbow mod, lessen the restriction..now change of subject...has anybody replaced the front struts on these trucks and are they easy to do...the shop wants to charge me 300!!
